We will be in St. Petersburg in July (Emerald Princes). A month ago we booked a private tour for 4 of us with Best Guides at quite a good price (we got early bird discounts). Already after we had received the confirmation we discovered another possibility on their website – mini-group tours. Didn’t notice before! The price is even better and doesn’t depend on the number of people, which is limited by 12. We are about to change the private tour to the group tour. The only one thing we are really concerned about: according to what we’ve heard if we are only 4 we can enter all the museums ahead of the lines. But if we are more than 4 we are to wait in lines. Is it true? Any suggestions? Are the lines in July supposed to be really awful? We don’t want to spend our time in Russia waiting in lines. Is there anyone who has already tried mini-group tours with Best Guides? Are the tours good? How many people were there in your group? Thank you for all the suggestions.
